        Hager | RCBO 16A 2 Pole 6kA 30mA | DIN Rail Mount

        The Hager ADA916T is a 16 amp 2 pole RCD/MCB combined in a single device (RCBO) rated 6kA, protecting against both overload and earth leakage on 30mA. It combines residual current protection and miniature circuit breaker functionality in one DIN-rail module, complies with AS/NZS 61009-1, and is suitable for commercial and residential single-phase circuits protecting motors, appliances, and control equipment.

        On domestic sites and multi-unit installations, single RCBOs are often the choice over separate RCDs and MCBs because they save switchboard space and simplify labelling. The 16A rating suits general-purpose loads like lighting and power circuits on a single phase. Where a 30mA RCD is required under Australian Standards for circuits serving hand-held tools or outdoor work, the ADA916T delivers that protection in a compact 2-module footprint without wasting space on the board.

        Electricians select the ADA916T for retrofit work and new installations where reliable earth-leakage tripping on 30mA is non-negotiable. The C-curve characteristic handles mild inrush currents on small motors and transformers without nuisance trips. The test button allows the installer to verify the earth-leakage function before energising the circuit, a mandatory check under AS/NZS 3017. The ADA916T has been a workhorse on Australian job sites for two decades, and the combination of affordable pricing, proven reliability, and fast availability keeps it a default choice for sparkies stocking a broad range of protection sizes.

        Features

        • 16A rated current — protects general-purpose circuits on a single phase, typically lighting and power subcircuits in domestic homes and commercial installations.
        • Combined RCD and MCB in one device — merges earth-leakage protection (30mA) and overload protection into a single 2-module DIN-rail unit, saving switchboard space.
        • 6kA breaking capacity — capable of interrupting short circuits up to 6kA, sufficient for most domestic and light commercial applications.
        • 30mA earth-leakage sensitivity (Type A) — trips within 200ms if a fault current of 30mA or greater is detected to earth, complying with AS/NZS 3000 for circuits feeding power tools and outdoor equipment.
        • C-curve characteristic — designed to withstand brief inrush currents from small motors and transformers (5–10 times rated current) without false tripping, while still responding instantly to true overloads.
        • Test button on front — allows the installer to verify earth-leakage function in 200ms or less, a mandatory test on every RCD/RCBO installation under AS/NZS 3017.
        • Manual reset after tripping — requires deliberate switch operation to restore power after a trip, preventing automatic reconnection if a fault persists.
        • Right-hand neutral position — designed for standard left-to-right switchboard layouts on DIN rail, with the neutral (N) terminal on the right.
        • Wide temperature tolerance — rated to operate safely from -25°C to +40°C without derating the 16A current, ensuring reliable performance across Australian climate zones.
        • DIN-rail mounting — standard snap-on top and screw-down bottom clips; removable from the bottom rail without tools for easy replacement.

        Where to use

        • Domestic circuits feeding hand-held power tools — AS/NZS 3000 mandates a 30mA RCD on any circuit supplying portable tools; the ADA916T in a subboard delivers both protection and switchboard space savings.
        • Rental properties and granny flat wiring — common requirement in multiunit installations where each tenancy needs independent circuit protection; the compact RCBO reduces the number of modules on the main board.
        • New build and renovation switchboards — general-purpose protection on lighting and power subcircuits serving kitchens, lounges, bedrooms, and hallways.
        • Retrofit upgrades to older installations — when replacing a failed separate RCD and MCB pair, the ADA916T fits in the same space and simplifies the switchboard diagram.
        • Industrial control circuits — protecting 240V single-phase motors, solenoid coils, and smaller transformers on portable control gear or machinery with integrated switchboards.
        • Caravan and site van electrical systems — where space is tight and a 30mA-sensitive RCBO is required by standard, the compact ADA916T is the single-module choice.

        The ADA916T is not suitable for circuits where harmonic currents or DC-leakage ground faults are likely to occur (for which Type B or Type F RCBOs are required). It is also not designed for AC or DC leakage types beyond Type A residual currents, and should not be used in situations where 100mA or larger leakage sensitivity is required by design.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Hager ADA916T 16 Amp 2 Pole 6kA 30mA RCD/MCB RCBO (ADA916T)

        "Great product and fast postage." — Peter

        "Top item and good value." — Homestead

        "Always reliable." — Paul

        (ADA916T)

        RCD/MCB (RCBO) combines residual current device and miniature circuit breaker into a single device. It saves switchboard space (one 2-module unit instead of two) and simplifies labelling. Use it when space is tight or when you need both earth-leakage and overload protection on a single phase circuit.

        Yes. AS/NZS 3000 requires a 30mA RCD on any circuit supplying portable power tools. The ADA916T meets this standard and trips in under 200ms on a 30mA fault to earth, making it compliant for tool circuits in domestic and commercial installations.

        Yes, the C-curve characteristic is designed to tolerate inrush currents from small motors (5–10 times rated current) without nuisance tripping. It will not trip on motor start, but will respond instantly to a true overload or short circuit of 16A or above.

        The ADA916T operates safely from -25°C to +40°C without derating the 16A current. Storage temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for Australian outdoor and tropical conditions.

        Yes. AS/NZS 3017 requires the RCD earth-leakage function to be tested by pressing the test button on the device. The ADA916T should trip in under 200ms; if it does not, the circuit has a fault and must not be energised.

        The Hager ADA916T is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
